in Natcbez about a proposed rail-
road which was 10 connect that city

with the Poitevent l. Favre road at

Either Of these routes wonld have
possessed advantages which would
common them to the constructors
Of railroads The route passing
direct down to the city via Lake

magnificent country every mile OF
the way; aud. although on account
of the numerous streams it would
have to encounter. many expensive
bridges would have to he b;ilt. yet
the probal'ls earnings Of snch road
would undoubtedly be large. and
greatly increase year after year, as
